Albino Confusion

robibobi Feb 08, 2005 11:05 PM

I have 2 albino leopard geckos that I think look completely different.I have asked before elsewhere and been told they are the same strain of albino.I want your opinion here.I don't understand how 2 geckos that look so different can be the same strain.Let me know what you think.Thanks

I am sure if you looked in old post you would find the answer, but as im already talking................If you incubate a tremper albino egg at cooler temps you get a darker gecko, warmer temps after the first couple weeks will give you brighter colors.If you would like i could show you my 3 albino girls who all look dif but are not.

Thank you so much.Now why couldn't someone have explained like that elsewhere.All I have ever gotten was they are tremers because I say so attitude .This gave me a reason as to why they look so different which was what I wanted to know.So when you incubate the eggs.you can start low for females then after a few weeks raise the temps...how high???? I wouldn't want to bake them.
Thanks
